ULTHERAPY
WHAT IS IT? An ultrasound treatment that counteracts the effects of time and gravity on your skin.
WHAT AREA DOES IT TARGET? Mainly your face, but any part of your body where you notice the skin is starting to sag.
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE? A clinician uses handpieces attached to a laser machine to target the areas where the skin needs tightening up. It essentially kick starts collagen growth, and is ideal for areas around the eyebrows, jawline, mouth and under the chin. It can also be used on the décolletage. You may be offered pain killers before the procedure.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST? Results last for life. However, there is a resting period of 12 months between treatments.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR THIS PROCEDURE? Anyone with moderate sagging and wrinkling of the face.
SWEATX
WHAT IS IT? A way to zap excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and body odour for good.
